You all know that we usually spend way too much time trying to make our post titles super clever and pun-ny, but this one is just too important, so we’re just going to come right out and say it. WE OPENED OUR OWN SHOP!!!!!

When Craftsy decided to dismiss and devalue the sewing and crafting communities by deleting almost all of their shops in December with hardly any warning, we panicked, along with so many others.

Overnight, 50% of our revenue stream disappeared. We still had Etsy, which is stable and reliable, but we weren’t at all sure that we could support hosting our own store. Our beloved WOW has only ever been a side business for us, and we weren’t ready to see it fail, but we had to figure out our next move.

It’s taken two months of late nights and lots of failed experimentation, but we’re finally ready to launch, and we’re thrilled to take on this challenge. The best part is that we can still offer you our paid and free patterns in one place, and we’ve learned more about eCommerce and WordPress plugins than our crafty selves ever thought we could handle. 🙂

We would love to hear any and all feedback you have about how the shop looks, feels, and operates. As always, we depend on you to help us make and deliver the best products we can.

Most importantly, to celebrate, we’re offering an amazing opening sale!! Use the code OPENING50 to get half off, yes half off, your first order on our new site (valid one coupon per person through March 31, 2019). Happy shopping!
